I wonder if the media will ever post more to-the-point headlines like this:

Europeans move to keep watch on imams
By Elaine Sciolino The New York Times
Tuesday, October 19, 2004

ST.-LEGER-DE-FOUGERET, France On a wooded hillside in deepest rural Burgundy sits a modest 19th-century chateau with a daunting mission: the training of imams to minister to the Muslims of Europe.

Here, for $3,200 a year, about 150 French and foreign students study and live in a damp, dilapidated former corporate summer resort with a tiny library, few computers, no television and no cell phone reception.

The goal of the European Institute for Human Sciences, as the coed school is known, is an urgent one shared by political leaders and intelligence and law enforcement authorities across the continent.

They believe that the growing Muslim population of Europe must stanch the migration of Muslim clerics who often are self-appointed, unfamiliar with the West, beholden to foreign interests and, in the most extreme cases, full of hate and capable of terrorist acts. To that end, they say, a homegrown breed of imams must be created.

Excerpted, more at link:

You mean to tell me that the brief Times mag article by Elaine Shannon DIDN'T put all your terrorism concerns to rest?

LOL. I see we all had the same reaction.

I've actually performed quite a few hot taps on pressurized lines myself, and the procedure you suggest isn't valid.

Being a welder, along with your active imagination and a $1, will get you a cup of coffee in most truck stops. To perform a hot tap, you NEED some very specialized and expensive equipment not available at your local Rental City. So stop blowing smoke and take a chill pill. I'm sure that you think your next in line to the Prince of Darkness, but I'm here to tell you you're not even in the same ballpark...

Have a nice day.

Don't bank on it Cindy, this is the AP we're talking about. They'd prefer the headline:

Justified Rebels Behead Macedonians...but, but...They Sedated The Spies First

Ummmm, I'm going to assume you were addressing "CNR" in your post and not Imperialist? Imperialist was just posting to the thread something that was posted on google.

Plane Makes Emergency Landing
POSTED: 6:41 am EDT October 18, 2004

Greensboro, N.C. -- A Delta Air Lines jet with more than 250 passengers was forced to make an emergency landing at Piedmont Triad International Airport Sunday after its crew reported smelling smoke in the cockpit.

None of the 252 passengers and seven crew members aboard the Boeing 767-300 were injured in the incident, Delta spokeswoman Katie Connell said.

Delta Flight 871 was flying from Atlanta to New York's LaGuardia Airport when the pilots noticed a smoky odor in the cockpit and the plane was diverted to Greensboro, Connell said.

The plane touched down around 6:45 p.m. and taxied to the gate under its own power, WFMY reported.

Crews replaced a part and the jet took off again before midnight. It was expected to land at its destination about 12:40 a.m. Monday, Connell said.

Not only absolutely correct, but there is a REASON we have not been attacked again since 9/11. And your analysis IS that reason. They could blow something up or bomb something ANYTIME THEY WANTED. There is only one reason why they have not:

And that is because the next attack will be MASSIVE.

Not quite sure what your talking about, pal, "Prince of Darkness" comment and all. Also, I never described the "hot tap" procedure I witnessed on a 8" water main recently. It was actually quite simple. The water company used a specialized drill bit. It had a drill bit on the tip which was hollow, after that it had a tap, as in tap and die to cut some threads, after the tap was a valve in the off position, after that was a length of pipe which was plugged into the drill. The whole mess was spun into the pipe, the tap bottomed out, a little water came out, the drill was detached and a pressure gauge was attached. At this point there was a little weeping around the now emmbedded tap section. It was welded in place and the leakage stopped. We opened the valve and we could now see how much pressure the mistery pipe we were working on had in it. It took 5 minutes. I doubt there was much pressure dropage in the line. We could have used that "port" to pump in whatever we wanted.

I am chill, I was wondering what the BS part was? Remember we are talking H2O pipes here, not NG, oil, explosive, etc.

Also, please lose the attitude and name calling, we are all on the same team here. I'm not blowing smoke (though I am having a cig right now). I found an odd post and brought it here. Not looking for confrontation, just analysis, and some FR-iends. I don't recognize your screenname either.

Good evening to you.

Palestinian Solidarity Conference At Duke Ends Without Incident
POSTED: 11:37 am EDT October 18, 2004

DURHAM, N.C. -- Officials at Duke University worried that there would be confrontations during a three-day conference of the Palestinian Solidarity Movement.

The conference concluded peacefully, including a march to the school's main quad.

Duke security officials say between 45 and 75 security officers were present throughout the conference.

The school's student newspaper had received threats the week before from a New York-based militant group. The Jewish Defense Organization said it would try to shut down the conference Sunday.

Protesters at the conference early in the weekend said they expected hundreds more to arrive Sunday. But neither the J.D.O. nor the busloads of expected protesters ever appeared
